Hi im trying to find pictures of my uncles old bike. He passed away a few years ago and i would like to find pictures of the bike he once had. It was a feature in either performance bikes or Super Bike Magazines, i think this was around 92-95. It was the fastest bike around at the time. It had an fzr 1000 motor fitted inside a 0w01 750 frame and a single sided swing arm from an nc30 i think, it also had a distinctive custom paint job with the Vance & Hines colours. The bike was called (THE BASTARD) If you saw the bike in the magazine you would for sure remember it. Thanks Scott

When i got my first Dt i thought the same thing, it's meant to be like that so don't worry.

It's meant to be like that.

Nope no pics but the head is beyond repair... few chunks been taken out so just going to bin it. All good though theres a guy in my local area with bits for sale.

Hi to all, i've recently bought a dt 125 r whick i believe to be a 91 model but not sure. Still has the frame and engine number but my local bike shop couldn't find the year of the bike, i do know for sure though that t is a pre 97 model as it doesn't have the electric power valve motor fitted. My question is, can i fit a later cylinder head to my original barrel as my cylinder head has been damaged as some tight fisted twonk fitted a cheap ass piston which has began to break up and damaged the top of the cylinder head just a few wee dents but i'd rather replace it or would i maybe get away with it? Has anyone got a top end for a dt 125, also looking for a rear silencer??? I live in Dundee but would be willing to travel but not too far. Thanks for looking Scott

Going to have to get a manual for the DT, i took off the cover for the servo motor and then rotated the motor to the fully open position, because the motor isn't hooked up it will stay and that position but when i started the bike up and took it for a run it's still the same. Looks like i am going to have to take it to someone who knows what their doing unless anyone has any ideas what it could be? The bike runs fine just as i say lack of power.

My brother has a kmx and wouldn't have these problems as it's just a cable that works it. Can't complain for the price i got the bike at.....Yeeeeeeeeeehaw

Yeah going to have a good look at it tomorrow, checked out the dtr hope page you suggested and it's looking really useful.. thanks for that. Yeah went to two bike dealers today and the first guy said that i should just turn the valves to off but that's no bloody use i want to get the bike going faster no going bloody slower. Yeah so tomorrow the mission is to try and as you say open the valve right open and see if that improves things, it should like, also going to be changing the front sprocket to 13 teeth or so, i'll lose the top end speed but in fields and the like and im not really going to be needing to be going flat out, just won't it to be quick. I'll get there and post up my finding incase anyone else finds themselves in a similar situation.

Yeah it's a field bike bike, went along to my local bike dealer today and he was telling me that i should get a wiring loom and a battery and reconnect it. Was speaking to my brother too and he has a friend of a friend who has his on electrician business and works on the police motors and he could maybe sort it out for me. Got the bike dead cheap so not to bothered about spending a bit of cash on it as i will def get it back, bike only cost me £250 or so, swapt it for my ps3 and £100 and apart from the power valve and needing a little tidied up it's a good wee bike... cracking deal, it's worth around £400 or so but the guy i bought it from was wanting rid of it as it hadn't been used in months. Cheers for getting back to me. Scott

I have just bought myself a dt 125r with a 97 frame and an 02 motor. I have had a week now and only been on it a couple of times due to the weather but it doesn't seem to have the instant power that it should. I've had a look at the power valve and it seems to have been disconnected, all the wires and cables have been either ripped out or disconnected which run from the bars to the engine. I'm really needing to get the power valve back on the go cos without it the bike is dead slow. I'm wondering if there is a way that i can hook up the power valve so that it always has power seeing as i have no keys to start my bike nor do i have a kill switch, it's a kick and off you go. Any suggestions would be great or am i just going to be wasting my time??
